Christmas Day.......

The morning of Christmas was SO much fun!! We awoke at 8:00 am to find the kids still sleeping (long night at Nanny's the night before). I decided I would be the first up to shower and get somewhat dressed while we left the kids and daddy sleep a little longer. No sooner did I get out of the shower Mason was ready to go and was in the process of waking up the other two. This was now close to 8:30! As much as my kids love Christmas and are extremely excited about Santa coming, they NEVER get up early!! They like their sleep, so I guess I can't complain:) Looks like Santa came to the Ober's. Hard to see the presents to Mason, as they were wrapped in Camo paper!!! Mason was curious as to how Ruldolph got in our house last year and left a foot print on the letter from Santa. This year Santa was gracious enough to explain how he did that and Ruldolph even left a foot print on mommy's carpet!!!! Look closely and you will see!!!! The kids thought it was great, but mommy wasn't too happy (daddy drawing on my carpet with washable marker). Thank goodness it comes out!!
Matthew reading the letter from Santa to Mason and Makayla. He was very in on the secret this year and wanted to see "how its done." He just couldn't believe the big secret we kept for 12 years, although he was very good about helping!

Matthew opens his "real" cell phone. Very excited and was so excited to send his first text message.

All he really asked for was Playstation and Wii games. This was one of his favorites on his list!

Mason got what he wanted, the geo air set for his train set. Now we have a town set up in our basement for the trains and the airplanes!!!
As many of you know, Makayla kept changing her list to Santa but one thing she did ask for consistently was potty baby.
Her new Fisher Price Loving Family Dollhouse
The one and only thing Mason wanted was a new bow! A real one like daddy's.
Matthew opening up his big present which is a pool pass to the Mount Joy pool this summer so he can go with friends!
A new CD player for her music!
A bow case for the new bow
Ready to support the PSU lions, as they make their way to the Rose Bowl!

Daddy and his new camo hat
After we were done opening our presents, we had Grandma and Papa and Nanny and Pappy over for breakfast, and so the kids could show their presents! Mason had to show how to shoot the new bow. He did a great job and can even hit the target! He is in his glory!! In case you are wondering he is NOT shooting arrows with tips, just no tips right now!

Around 1pm we headed over to Aunt Cathy's for the rest of the day. We had our Christmas dinner and then opened presents once everyone arrived. Bode had the privlege of going first this year since he was the youngest!
He wanted so bad for his cousin Makayla to wake up from her nap. It was her turn to open!
She did and she got another Barbie!
New camo shirt from Aunt Cathy and Uncle Jere
A new PSU jersey #17 Darryl Clark for Matthew to wear. He has it already planned he will be wearing that New Year's Day for the game, for good luck!
What a wonderful Christmas Eve and Christmas Day we had. We thank everyone for the gifts and the time spent with one another. We love you all.
